I know if I didn't have to have a toon logged in to do my trading, I'd have a merchant up all the time with various goodies for sell, and platinum does still have some value for things like armor and epics for alts.With RoF came the "Offline Mode", a button in the bazaar window that when pressed would log you out and place an npc dopelganger trader of sorts where you stood that would stay there until you logged back in. Obviously, RoF isn't enabled yet but perhaps there's a way to implement a #offlinetrader command for the server, so that even after RoF gets enabled even those people who aren't using the RoF client could plop down a trader of their own without needing to keep a mule logged in. Move trader to stalls, start trader mode, you type #offline, it camps you out and pops an NPC in your spot named XYZ's_Trader. If someone purchases an item when you're logged out, and then you log back in it tells you who bought what for how much. Etc. Probably a lot of work, but it's a huge feature that boosts the economy and spreads gear down the ranks
Lately I've had to resort to deleting a lot of tradeable items just for bag space and it saddens me that some people might've wanted them, even would've payed for them.
